Lol. I had this exact thing a month ago.

A woman in a black Fiesta came up my street the wrong way. Me and a neighbour stood in the middle of the street and gesticulated to turn around and go back, but she kept on coming. She stopped eight feet away from me. My neighbour shouted at her to go back, it’s a one way street. Her reply, ‘was are you cops?’ We said no, it’s a one way street and to go back. Her reply was, ‘I know it’s it’s a one way street’ and we should move and then proceeded to drive towards me. I turned my back and continued talking to my neighbour as we had been earlier. She gave me abuse and reversed down the street.

I reported her as apparently she’d done it a few times.

Oh man. I got yelled at a few months ago.

I was following this Honda Civic down a narrow city street when we reached a roundabout. He entered the empty roundabout and i followed. As we were rounding, an E39 BMW bombs into the roundabout, cutting off the Civic. Civic guy lays on the horn and briefly locks up, while the BMW charges in front of him.

The BMW, the Civic and myself all took the same roundabout exit in that order, but the Civic immediately turned into an alley afterwards, while the BMW and I got stuck at the end of the block waiting for a light. The BMW guy then rolled down his window and proceeded to berate me for honking at him.

I was kind of at a loss for words. I suppose i could’ve yelled something along the lines of “I didnt honk at you, that was a dude in a civic who pulled into an alley before you checked your rearview mirror, but regardless, i wish i had honked at you because you just pulled some sketchy ass shit and also look up how roundabouts work” But that probably wouldn’t have gotten the point across. I feel like you only get to convey one idea in that type of interaction.

Too clueless to realize he’s cutting off another car, and too clueless to realize what other car is objecting to his clueless driving. So sad we must share the road with these people
